Given a master log file updated across a network, what is the best way to display that in the intellij IDE? Is it possible to develop a plugin that would add a log tab (similar to the default event log at the bottom of the IDE) inside the IDE to display this data? Or are there any inbuilt features in intellij that I could use to accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated on how to approach this issue.

The log should display real time updates.

Been working on this for a few days, and it is possible to accomplish this through an intellij plugin. Specifically a Tool Window. More information on tool window plugin development for intellij can be found here. Intellij Tool Window plugin development

The newly added Tool Window UI can be customized further using Swing components.
